restorecon /etc/services will fix. This is caused by a bug in vmware. Correct. Installing the vmware-server rpm changes the context of /etc/services as shown by: ls -lZ /etc/serv*, that causes at least ntp, and sendmail to stop working. Thanks. |
Description of problem: setroubleshooter browser showing warning as time update is attempted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntp-4.2.4p2-6.fc8 selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-76.fc8 setroubleshoot-1.10.7-1.fc8 setroubleshoot-plugins-1.10.4-1.fc8 setroubleshoot-server-1.10.7-1.fc8 How reproducible: occurs in job run by cron Actual results: Summary SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/ntpd from using potentially mislabeled files (<Unknown>). Detailed Description SELinux has denied /usr/sbin/ntpd access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (<Unknown>). This means that SELinux will not allow /usr/sbin/ntpd to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access If you want /usr/sbin/ntpd to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v <Unknown>. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v <Unknown>.
